Looking for an easy way to add a pop of color to your wedding? Try creating these t-shirt pom poms and hang them off chairs at your ceremony or hang in bunches in your reception! All you need are a couple of colorful t-shirts that you don't wear anymore, some cardboard, and scissors!
First you will need to trace 2 difference size circles onto the cardboard to cut out. You can play around with the sizes of the 2 circles to get different size poms.
Now, cut your t-shirt into 1/2" strips. For the best results, cut from the armpit of the shirt and down.
Next take the strip of the shirt and place it around the inner part of the cardboard circle cutout. After you've placed your shirt, sandwich it by adding the other template on top!
Take another strip of t-shirt and begin winding it around the template. Be sure to stretch the material tightly so that it covers a lot of space! Once you reach the end of the strip, take another strip and be sure to overlap the end and continue winding around the template until you get all the way around!
Now take the sandwiched strip and pull tight and wrap around each other once. this will help hold things in place for the next step. With one hand holding the strips in place, use scissors to cut the fabric strips along the template.
After all of the strings are cut, pull the string tight and tie it into a knot. Remove the templates! You can spend the time now fluffing and cutting the pom to your liking!
